There was no ... ( 4 days ago by danlong47)

There was no innocence in the 50s This country was being run by the greatest generation.The one which won a war against facism.
The children of that generation. Had all the promish and hope of the innocence. the sixty's,the seventy's showded them how wrong
and misled they were.

I think we agree, you just said it in the long version. The children of the 50's, baby boomers had a dif outlook than the gen who realized the effects of WWII. They had in fact an "innocence" which is what I was trying to say. I think the meaning of Bye Bye Miss American Pie is probably obvious to most older Americans.

1. It's spelled S-A-T-A-N
2. The lyric is "Satan laughing with delight"
3. It's open to interpretation- it can mean the end of innocence, the end of rock n' roll, or the beginning of an age dominated by sin.

I think Don McLean ... ( 4 days ago by birdbath7)

I think Don McLean was saying that the "White America" and "White Race," was dying, and as we view 2008, it looks like the final nails are being put into our White coffin, and during the times shown above until now, the Whites have calmly accepted their demise. Only it isn't White suicide. My son who was in Rehab, son of Viet Vet Hero, his cousellor said: There's a deliberate attempt to bring down the 'cream of the crop' in "America." The ward was all White young boys & girls! Don't write-THINK

do you mean white as in caucasian, or white as in pure?...i'm trying to decide whether or not i despise you for this posting, see.

If you are saying ... ( 3 days ago by birdbath7)

If you are saying that to say "White" is grounds to despise me, you sound like a 'racist,' and I'm trying to figure out if you are Jewish that wants to see the demise of the White Race, a black, that wants to see the end of the White Race, a Mexican, etc. etc. etc. You sound like you "hate" Whites. Obama's church also has in its book to "Kill the White Enemy." Does that fit your bill after all the Whites have done for non-Whites you spit in our White face?Wonder if you'd be like that in AFrica.

Thanks for the spelling correction.
The dream of living in a place with no hate, everyone equal.Being a part of that great land
That was a great dream for the Baby boomers! The generation that was in control was having a hard time letting go. Where are the three freedon riders of Mississippi? .
We the innocent read about The Mississippi Riders. in the newspaper that he delieved
Great tune dont fight

actually, i'm irish-catholic and hate all forms of racism, but most especially yours, WASPy. I'm so white i need to use self-tanner in the winter so i don't look dead!
P.S. I love how you accuse me of racism just before insinuating that every other race is against the "White Race" (that sounds like a KKK-sponsored NASCAR event)

If you didn't look ... ( 3 days ago by RowdyRacer17)

If you didn't look at history with your head up your ass, you would know that when this song was written, a WHITE man could KILL a black man in Mississippi with no consequences. I really don't think Don McClean was a racist asshole. Only uneducated, poor, and lazy white people are afraid of intellegent black people.
How are you liking our President Elect??

Got 2 quick ... ( 3 days ago by birdbath7)

Got 2 quick responses both calling me a racist, yet I just stick up for my own Whites & knock down no other race. That shows there is something fundamentally wrong with freedom of speech, which has been stripped from us. Your President Elect church has written on its wall: Dedicated to Black "Africa," not Black America, or America. 20 years of that can't be erased.The church book which says to kill the White enemy. I've never hurt a black & yet my family has been victimized cruelly many times!

okay, guys, i'm sorry if anyone has been offended
you're right- the song is excellent, which is why i was here in the first place, so, birdbath7, although i disagree with your opinions, i'm just gonna let it lie...
again, sorry, everyone, i just don't like being called a racist when i'm not

Where do you find in the song anything about racism? your sentence about uned.,poor and lazy white people reaked of racism.
Didnt vote for him , I throw my vote away on Nader. we are a generation lost.
I pray the feeling of losing will miss this generation with the election of B.Obarma.the skies the limit watch out! Eight miles high and falling fast really hurt.

So we move on. Dont you agree its one of the best song of the generation of the Baby boomers. Like a good movie if you talk about it after seeing it than thats a good movie. We're still talking about a song for written over 30years ago. Wow I hope this guy is living the good life Great song. bye you all

I really like the videos of when he was in the prime of his career. He and a few of his fellow writer/performers had so much soul and maturity at a very young age. The 60's were such a rich period of musical creativity and social commentary.
